Security Cage Applications in Law Enforcement & Evidence Storage

Evidence storage is one of the most critical functions in any law enforcement facility. Every item — from narcotics and firearms to biological samples and documents — must be securely stored, accurately tracked, and readily accessible for court proceedings.

Our evidence storage systems are designed to maintain chain of custody from intake through disposition, with features for access control, environmental protection, and space-efficient organization.

Evidence Intake & Processing

Pass-through evidence locker for secure evidence intake

Chain-of-Custody Requirements

Proper evidence intake requires a secure handoff point between the depositing officer and the evidence management team. Pass-through lockers provide this separation while maintaining a documented chain of custody.

Evidence Room Zones

  • Intake Area: Pass-through lockers for secure evidence deposit
  • Processing Zone: Work surfaces and temporary holding for examination and logging
  • Long-Term Storage: High-density shelving organized by case, type, or date
  • Specialized Storage: Refrigerated lockers, oversized evidence, narcotics vaults
  • Disposition Staging: Organized area for evidence scheduled for release or destruction

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pass-through evidence locker?
A pass-through locker has openings on two sides — officers deposit evidence from a public or hallway side, and evidence technicians retrieve it from the secure evidence room side. This maintains chain of custody without requiring officers to enter the evidence room.
How does mobile shelving help evidence storage?
Mobile shelving eliminates fixed aisles by mounting shelving units on rails. Units compact together and open only the aisle you need, effectively doubling storage capacity in the same floor space.
Can you design evidence storage for narcotics and biological evidence?
Yes. We offer refrigerated evidence lockers for biological samples, ventilated cabinets for narcotics, and secure vaults for controlled substances, all designed to meet chain-of-custody and preservation requirements.
Do your systems support RFID or barcode tracking?
Yes. Our evidence storage systems integrate with RFID tags, barcode labels, and electronic tracking software for automated inventory management and chain-of-custody documentation.
How do you handle oversized evidence?
We design storage zones specifically for oversized items including bicycles, large electronics, and bulky equipment. Cantilever shelving, high-bay storage, and custom cage enclosures accommodate non-standard evidence items.
What compliance standards do your evidence rooms meet?
Our designs align with CALEA and IAPE best practices. We work with your agency to meet state-specific accreditation requirements.
